Jaguar XE 3.0 V6 S / SC Oil Leaks & Coolant System Wear (AJ126 I6)
The AJ126 is a sophisticated 3.0-litre inline-six with an integrated starter-generator and electric auxiliary compressor — a more modern and efficient design than the older AJ126 V6. We replace timing chains, bearings, water pump and gaskets as standard on every AJ126 rebuild.
Because the XE 3.0 V6 S / SC uses a completely different engine family from the V8 M178 fitted to the XE 63 and GT 63 S, parts and rebuild specifications don't cross over between them.
Source: Established AJ126 specialist pattern — timing chain, bearing and gasket wear across integrated-starter-generator inline-six units.

Jaguar XE 3.0 V6 S / SCENGINE OPTIONS
Every XE 3.0 V6 S / SC is different. That's why we offer the right solution for your engine, your car and your budget.
REBUILDING YOUR XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINE
Most engine suppliers sell you a used engine of unknown history and hope it matches. We rebuild the engine your XE 3.0 V6 S / SC already has instead — strip it down, pressure-test it, and replace every worn or damaged component (timing chain components, tensioners, guides) with updated OEM parts. You get a near-new engine with a 12-month unlimited-mileage warranty, without the compatibility risk of an unknown used unit. This is the option most XE 3.0 V6 S / SC owners choose, and it's the one we'd recommend for most situations.
RECONDITIONED XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINES
"Reconditioned" is the term many owners search for when they mean the same thing as a rebuild — a full strip-down, inspection, and replacement of worn parts rather than a straight swap. If that's what you're after, our rebuild service is exactly that.
REFURBISHED XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINES
Similarly, "refurbished" often describes the same process from a different angle — restoring your existing engine to full working condition rather than replacing it outright. Our rebuild covers this.
REMANUFACTURED XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINES
Some owners specifically search for a "remanufactured" engine, expecting a unit rebuilt to original specification with updated components. That's consistent with what our rebuild service delivers on the AJ126.
REPLACEMENT XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINES
If your existing engine is beyond economical repair, we also offer full engine replacement and fitting — sourced and fitted by our team, with the same 12-month warranty.
USED XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINES
In some cases, a matched low-mileage used engine is the right call — particularly if you need your car back on the road quickly and your existing engine's damage is extensive. We can source and fit these too, though most owners who ask about used engines end up choosing a rebuild once they understand the compatibility risk a used unit carries. Enter your reg below and we'll talk you through both options honestly.
NOT SURE WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

ABOUT THE Jaguar XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINE

The XE 3.0 V6 S / SC is the performance petrol flagship of the first-generation XE range, fitted from the car's launch in 2015 through to around 2019/2020. It uses the AJ126 — a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 derived from Jaguar's AJ-family engine architecture, which also underpins the larger supercharged V8s used across the brand's performance models of the same era. This engine sits above the four-cylinder Ingenium petrol and diesel units in the XE line-up, offering significantly more power through its supercharged configuration. The XE 3.0 V6 S / SC was discontinued when Jaguar moved the XE to a petrol-only four-cylinder lineup in some markets around 2020, but we continue to rebuild and replace engines for every one still on the road.
We continue to rebuild and replace AJ126 engines for every XE 3.0 V6 S / SC on the road.
Jaguar XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINE CODES
A 3.0-litre supercharged V6 petrol engine fitted to the XE 3.0 V6 S / SC from 2015 to 2019/2020 (X760 generation). No specific known issue pattern was independently confirmed for this application during research — cross-referencing the AJ-V8/V6 supercharged pattern from other Jaguar models as a starting point suggests timing chain, tensioner and guide wear are the components to watch, though this has not been independently confirmed for this exact application. We inspect and replace timing chain components, tensioners and guides as standard on every AJ126 rebuild. Check Your AJ126 XE 3.0 V6 S / SC → [link to quote form]
Check Your AJ126 XE 3.0 V6 S / SCJaguar XE 3.0 V6 S / SC ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

Because the XE 3.0 V6 S / SC uses a different engine architecture from the four-cylinder Ingenium units found elsewhere in the XE range, fitting the wrong replacement or assuming parts are interchangeable risks a compatibility problem. Before we quote or supply anything, we confirm:
Your exact engine code (AJ126) via registration or VIN
Your generation (X760)
Drivetrain and ancillary specification
Any electronics or ECU considerations specific to your exact build
This is why we always start with your registration rather than a generic XE quote — it protects you from paying for parts that don't fit your actual car.
